*********** Also be watching for some very EXCITING new things that we are going to be rolling out in the next few days and weeks!!! ***********

What do you do when child wants to quit?

So we are at a new crossroads in our house right now. Kate decided the other night that she is done with cheering allstar's. Pitched a fit about it and everything at 13. The first thing I told her was that she was out of luck, if she wants to quit then she needs to wait until the season is over- at our house we don't sign up for something and then quit. Then it went to, I don't know that I want to "quit" but that I just want to take sometime off and just tumble. So I still said, well your out of luck- your commited for the year.

Finally she explained to me the reason's why she wants to quit- they consist of basicly it's not fun anymore. This season our gym merged with a gymnastic's gym and moved 30 mins away. Alot of her friends parents just couldn't make the drive, and truthfully we havent been doing a whole lot of team bonding so these girls hardly talk to each other. I understand that. I also understand that I don't want to be that parent who is forcing their child to do anything! So after a long talk- that I have not had with her coach yet, I am going to let her take some time off. Gracie on the other wants nothing to do with taking time off, and so she will not be joining her sister in taking a break.

I guess when it comes right down to it, I am not going to force my child to do something that her heart is not in right now, and she hates doing. I am also not going to make her misrable. Plus I really think that she will back in a month and ready to go.

There are other issues as to why she is not wanting to do it, and well I am not going to post them on here because I don't want to upset anyone that might read this- but I do understand why she feels the way she does.

Do you all think that I am doing the right thing by letting her take some time off? Or should I make her stick it out?

Being Busy

Well it's been a pretty busy couple of weeks for me, I just wanted to make sure that I posted something today. Really I am trying to get to the point of where I am posting something EVERY day. But that hasn't been working out so well for me..lol

There are lots of updates and new things that we are doing with Cheer Moms- and I have a ton to write and very little time, so be looking for that to come out in the next couple of days!!!

What a HUGE week for us at Cheer Moms!!

Wow, is about all I can say. We have had a huge week- almost at 3700 fans on facebook and slowly but surely we are getting to 400 on Ning!! Thats huge for us. Never did I think that this "project" of getting Moms together from all over would take off the way that it has- but it has and it look's as if we have no plans on slowing down anytime soon!!
Lisa and I are both working on getting some fantsasic people to partner with us, so that we can get you all the information out there possible!! I am super excited about the road that this is leading us all down, and the wonderful friendships that have started to form from our site!!
We also have not one, but two blogs with our name in it yesterday-
http://cheercincy.com/
http://www.confidentcheerleadingblog.com/
So that is super exciting for us!!

There will be no blogging today

Even though I have TONS to blog about- I am taking a sick day- really I am sick :(

Anyone else have a 13 year old that can't stand them

So the oldest is leaving this morning (already left actully) for church camp. That topic is for a whole other blog- cause I can tell you it's not the camp I went to as a kid..lol So I post this super nice post on facebook and tag her and her two other friends and say something like I hope that you girls have a great week at the beach I will miss you alot. And I get hit back with a- Mom do you think you could stop commenting on my facebook, don't tag me in stuff, and comment on my status it's annoying!
So I am shocked for about 30 seconds, hurt for about 30 more, and then well I'm not going to lie I am pretty pissed. I am sure that there are kids out there that they wish there parents cared about them, cared about there day, wants to know whats going in in thier lives. But oh no, not my child. She just blew me off- and was nasty about it. And it's not like I am one of these parents that it "all up in her business" just a civil converstion once in awhile about how things are going, or a thanks Mom I am glad you care enough to ask. Or even a thanks for all you do for me, like running me to practice and being at all my games, and being at all my compations. Oh and basicly for being my biggest fan and cheering me on in everything I do.

TEENAGERS- Fun times!!!

I read a great blog yesterday and wanted to share it.

My wonderful friend Lisa writes a blog also- and the last one that school wrote was a great one for us Cheer Moms- I think it's even a great read if your not a Cheer Mom!!

So Wed night I am in the car, and running late to practice- god forbid I can't get my kids there ontime. This isn't a gym rule really - this is a me being a crazy cheer mom...lol I am going as fast as I can, and well I kinda ran a red light- there was no cars coming, no police that I could see- and my baby needed to get to practice!! I imeditly thought of Lisa's post and laughed.
Needless to say, we were a whole 2 mins late and G had a wonderful practice. Even with her coach that she love being at the beach!!


I am super proud of my girls, it seems to me that the month of June has been something great for them, it's like something has changed in both of them. K is working her tumbling and is inches away from throwing her BHS on the floor- her jumps are higher this month and shes progressing so well. G is working on things, listening to her coaches ( she really like them all- but she is very attached to her one coach) and I think she is going to be more then ready for her ind next season and I am super excited for both of my girls!


It's like a breath of fresh air in our gym right now, the girls are progressing so fast and it's so positve for them!! They are happy, working together as a team and looking better then ever!!

We are so blessed to have a coaching staff at CCA that puts our children first, they are always there to support them no matter what. And I am very proud that my children are a part of that!!
